Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

That's incredibly hard work!

However, regarding quality

Chitanda's future is also uncertain.

After all, he really does write very fast.

It's so fast you can't even understand it, and you might even think it's just random writing.

Even so, she had to admit that Kamishiro-kun was really working hard.

She had actually been watching all this day.

Because in the mornings, Kamishiro-kun usually reads literature to enrich himself.

After school in the afternoon, I will diligently write.

Most people couldn't sit still like him.

Chitanda Mirai smiled happily and said:

"Kamishiro-kun really works hard."

"As for why you wrote so quickly, it must be because you were so inspired by the novel you were writing?"

Watanabe Hina nodded in agreement:

"That's possible."

"After all, it's impossible to write this quickly without inspiration."

Rika Maejima chuckled:

"Hearing you say that, I'm even more curious about what kind of novels Kamishiro-kun writes."

Chitanda Mirai thought for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"I think we should wait until Kamishiro-kun says he wants to show it to us before asking."

"After all, he seemed a bit strange at noon today."

"Perhaps I was also a little shy about letting people I knew read my first novel."

"Let's not force him."

Hina Watanabe empathized deeply:

"I can understand that feeling."

"When I first started practicing piano, I felt an indescribable sense of shame when I went on stage to play for my classmates."

"I think that's probably how Kamishiro-kun felt before, right?"

Maejima Rika pondered:

"I see."

"Since everyone says to wait until he's ready to give it to me, I won't ask anymore."

"However, I still hope that this time, Kamishiro-kun's manuscript will be approved."

Chitanda Mirai spoke frankly and helplessly:

"me too."

"But the publisher's review process is actually quite strict."

"There's even the existence of cross-review by the editorial team, so it's not that easy to get a manuscript approved."

Rika Maejima asked curiously:

"Mirai-chan, you know so much, have you submitted your work before?"

Chitanda Mirai smiled slightly and said:

"um, yes."

"But that was back in the first year of junior high."

"I wrote it quite diligently back then, and excitedly submitted it for publication, but it didn't even pass the first round."

Rika Maejima asked in surprise:

"Mirai-chan, you didn't even pass?"

Is it that difficult?

Watanabe Hina pondered:

"Even someone as smart as Chitanda couldn't pass it, so it does seem quite difficult."

"Looking at it this way, we don't even know if what we wrote will be able to be submitted."

Chitanda Mirai shook her head and said:

"No, no, no, although it is somewhat difficult, it is not as difficult as you imagine."

"After my first book failed, my second book passed the editors' first test."

"But it was rejected during the cross-review process."

Rika Maejima exclaimed in surprise:

"It's already quite an achievement to pass the first hurdle."

"When did you write your second book?"

Chitanda Mirai explained somewhat shyly:

"Actually, I was in the second year of junior high school."

"But I was a bit immature back then."

Looking back at the novels I wrote now, they're almost unbearable to read.

Rika Maejima was incredibly surprised, gave a thumbs up, and became a full-fledged praiser:

"That's pretty awesome!"

"It was almost approved. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it."

Watanabe Hina nodded and said:

"Yes."

Chitanda Mirai's fair face flushed slightly as she shyly said:

"It's not that bad."

Rika Maejima asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, Chitanda-san, what novels were you writing back then?"

Chitanda Mirai's lips curled slightly upwards, thinking that Maejima Rika had finally asked the right question. She smiled and guided the two of them:

"It's a romance novel."

Hina Watanabe paused, somewhat surprised that she had written a romance novel.

But after thinking about it, it seems normal.

Girls of this age are more or less interested in dating.

Even when she was in junior high school, she fantasized about what her boyfriend would be like.

But now that he has met Shiro Kaede, the fantasy of that time is no longer a fantasy.

Rika Maejima exclaimed in surprise:

"Is Mirai-chan writing a romance novel?"

"That's exactly the same as what I'm writing now."

Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:

"Yes, it is."

As she spoke, she abruptly changed the subject, turning to ask Watanabe Hina:

"Speaking of which, Watanabe-senpai also writes romance novels."

Hina Watanabe said:

"Yes."

"what happened?"

Chitanda Mirai smiled and squinted as she asked:

"Speaking of which, I've heard that the first romance novel girls read is about their ideal boyfriend."

“That’s how it is in mine.”

"Pear Blossom Sauce seems to fit the bill, after all, she writes about the people she likes."

"And what about you, Watanabe-senpai?"

"Is the male protagonist you write about someone you like?"

Watanabe Hina nodded straightforwardly:

"Yes."

Rika Maejima exclaimed excitedly:

"So Watanabe-senpai is like that too!"

"Speaking of which, I heard that you, Watanabe-senpai, said that you have someone you like."

"May I ask who that person is?"

Chitanda Mirai was secretly delighted to finally get Maejima Rika to ask this question.

But at the same time, she looked at Watanabe Hina with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.

I really hope that Watanabe Hina will say that the person she likes is not Kamishiro Hakufeng, but someone else.
